Prime Minister Keir Starmer has called on the US to provide a “backstop” to deter Russia from attacking Ukraine again after meeting with European leaders for emergency talks on the war. Speaking to reporters in Paris on Monday, Starmer said Britain and Europe are facing a “generational challenge when it comes to national security” and they need to "step up", with increased spending and military support. The Prime Minister said he would be prepared to put a peacekeeping force into Ukraine, if there is a deal to end the war with Russia.
